Logistics project helps companies win £8m in new business

Growth Logistics 2, an EU-funded programme to help North-East businesses adopt new supply chain systems and practices is providing 100 per cent funding for consultants to work directly with a further 22 SMEs.

The fully-funded project offers North East companies free expert support and advice on how to improve their logistics and warehouse operations, from Sunderland-based NAC Group.

It reckons it has already helped companies in the region improve their bottom lines by almost £10m.

To demonstrate its effectiveness first-hand, three firms taking part in the project are holding an open day on Wednesday 12th January.
